TEA CUPS AND BUNNIES ARE SO MUCH FUN TO PLAY WITH!

Hello Ladies! Welcome to Tea Cup Tuesday No. 212! Did you notice I was missing in action last week? To be honest I was having my own personal melt-down from too much to do and not enough time. That does not happen to me too often, but I was on tilt last week. My son in law was having back surgery, I had the grandchildren over night, I was responsible for pricing all the items for the church rummage sale, plus everything else that has been on my plate this month. Well, I just needed my Mama. Thank God for Terri, she was completely in charge. It is good to have friends. I still have a lot to do but, I am handling it a little bit better. I do have a bad cold so this post may be a little short. I am back and looking forward to the party.

This week I am getting ready for the tea party for 50 ladies I am having Saturday. I have all the dishes, washed and ready. I think that was the hard part. Getting all the little details ready is next. I will show you all the pictures next week. It should be very pretty. Our lives just get very complicated sometimes. Wishing I was a little more together, but oh well, it is what it is! The old gray mare, she ain't what she use to be!

I am sharing more violets this week. Did I ever tell you I collect Violets? I love them on plates, jars, cups and vases. They are perfect for Easter and they multiply like the bunnies. This cup is a Royal Albert. It is just stunning. Love the thumb rest. I have packed up a table all of violet cups for the tea. I will show it to you next week.

Since I am quickly running out of energy, I am only sharing two cups. This last cup is a Edger Gutherz; MZ Mortiz Zdekauer, Royal Austria China Tea Cup and Saucer. It has this gorgeous green and rose garland design. The cup is very delicate and it just screams Easter!

We were at Downtown Disney this weekend with the grandchildren. Always a lot of fun. Here is Noah with Sophia and of course, Princess Maya!

Looking forward to visiting this week. Thanks for your emails of concern. You are wonderful. I am doing so much better. I will see you for tea! Hugs, Martha

You were missed. I hope you are feeling a bit more encouraged. We do sometimes have more on our plates than we think we can handle. Looking forward to seeing the photos from the tea! Love the violets! Lean on the One who never forsakes you when things get tough! Thanks so much for linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!Ruth

Hello Martha,I am sorry to hear you are suffering with a cold too! I hope that very soon you will be feeling stronger and that your plate will not be so full. Lovely tea cups today...violets and tea cups go so well together. The handle on yours is so sweet too. Your decorative plates are gorgeous as well. Best wishes on your tea party. I look forward to seeing the pictures : )Hugs,Terri

I always end up sick when I overdo. Hope you're feeling better soon and your party goes off very well. All your violets and china are beautiful and it's certainly looking like Easter at your house. Have a lovely day.

Your violet teacup and saucer plus the Royal China teacup and saucer are both lovely examples of your collection. You are a very busy lady and I hope your son-in-law is healing quickly. The tea party sounds like fun and i look forward to seeing the photos. Hope your week is a fun and healthy one!

Beautiful violet teacup and saucer and the Royal China is stunning! Thank you for having me at this wonderful tea party.

Hope you feel better soon my friend and I'm so happy you are back. Sometimes we want to handle much more than we can; us women seem to always find ourselves doing just that! I'm also better from an awful cold! Have a nice week sweet lady.Your grands are such a blessing. Hugs,FABBY

Hi Martha,I'm so glad you're back! I was worried about you and you were dearly missed last week. Your violet teacup is so very beautiful and so are the wee kiddies! Hope this week slows down a little for you. Thank you for hosting tea time with Terri! Take care! Karen

I am looking forward to this tea for 50 you've been planning. I have the same RA violet teacup and love the daintiness of the flowers on it.Hopefully you'll feel much better when it's time to host your tea.

so sorry you haven't been feeling well; sometimes life can overwhelm us, and now you have a big party to plan! Hopefully after that, you can put your feet up and enjoy some quiet time! Love all your bunnies and violets! take care and don't work too hard. sweet grandchildren, too :)
